Assassins the Musical

"So when Stephen Sondheim sets out to write a musical entitled Assassins, as he did in 1990, we can expect dark humor and a healthy dose of pastiche, interwoven with the composer’s characteristic just-unsettling-enough parodies of human behavior."

A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, exploring the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which figures from different historical periods meet, interact, and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
